There are some really great songs from the 80’s. Several of them were written by a guy named Billy Squire. I reflect tonight on “The Stroke”. This song is all about living and feeding on that which out egos require. Tell me how good I am, tell me how great I am, tell me how …

I believe everybody has something about them that makes them exceptional. We are all for the most part mundane beings. We have more in common with each other than we have different. Just about all of us have 5 functioning senses. Even in the cases where a person through one thing or another has lost …

Had something pop up on my timeline on Facebook today ( I sometimes refer to it as my wasteline, as the only thing it’s good for most of the time is wasting time). The original poster was someone named Anna Grace Taylor, but I have no idea if this person is the true originator of this …

Can’t stay up too late, I have to get up early in the morning and get ready to teach Exchange 2016 for five days this week. Exchange is one of my old, reliables. I’ve been teaching Microsoft messaging systems since the Microsoft Mail 3.2 days. I enjoy it, and I am very comfortable with the …

I’ve read the books, and like millions of other fans, I hope he can complete the tale before he passes from this mortal existence. What George R.R. Martin has done in creating this series is nothing short of amazing. In my …

Somedays you have a hard time, struggling to come up with a decent idea for a blog entry. Today was a bit of the opposite. (And my youngest daughter just popped into the office to chat, and I lost complete track of what I was going to blog about) I thought about a blog entry …

I was thinking earlier today about the way certain people describe situations, people, events, and how they add adjectives. I was thinking how odd it is that one prominent person in the US government uses superlatives as descriptors at every opportunity. Things in his mind’s eye are always the best or the worst or something …
